P.E – Mithian School

PE is seen as Physical Literacy and used as a tool for embedding our school values: Emotional Intelligence, Motivation, Efficacy, Resilience, Grit and Enthusiasm. We believe that PE develops children’s knowledge, skills and understanding, so that they perform with competence and confidence in a range of physical activities and have the resilience to succeed. Physical Education is taught through a thematic approach which focuses upon the whole child and the fundamentals of movement that underpin all physical success. In addition to this, discrete activities are taught. PE promotes an understanding in children of their bodies in action. It involves thinking; selecting and applying skills; it promotes positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. This enables the children to make informed choices about physical activity throughout their lives.

Our latest P.E Inter-School Competition Report...

Wow! What a start to the year for all things Sport and PE at Mithian. In September we started our clubs and Football fixtures. Thank you to parents for your support with kit, and allowing your children to attend clubs, we are very grateful to have most of our KS2 children attending a PE club each week.

In October Y5/6 attended a T1 Rugby event in Penryn, the Football fixtures were in full swing, bringing wins and draws throughout the month and much improvement within the team. We also held our whole school Cycle to School Week where so many of our children participated in active travel to/from school or at home. As always, such commitment from our families.

During November, we attended qualifying events for 3x3 Basketball with two teams and both placed in the top 3! We are super proud that Team B qualified for the peninsular finals! We welcomed Mount Hawke Academy for an afternoon of Netball and Football matches which ended in both teams drawing.

December brought more success, with children attending Key Steps Gymnastics events and again qualifying for the Peninsular Finals whilst the 3x3 Basketball team came 5^th at the finals. The Mithian Swimming Gala was a huge success for our KS2 children. Unfortunately, rain meant 2 football matches were postponed and the TPAT Cup was unable to take place. These events should be completed during the Spring Term.
